Amazing article here about 3 female gorillas in a London zoo who are going "bananas" over the poster of a male French gorilla who is going to make a visit. The London zoo apparently has been male-less for almost an year. One of the females put the poster up on a tree to stare at it.

An additional bonus is the "dating" descriptions of the three females.

Here's a super creative new video from a band I really dig: Goldfrapp. Watch out for the dancing dog in the last 30 seconds. The only thing that would have made it better would have been more Alison Goldfrapp herself.

Really interesting article here about a competition that pits hobbyists and start-ups in competitions for the various components that would be needed to build a space elevator. Most enlightening is the description of how the same technology that is being developed for the different components is useful in other applications, and these innovators are starting to look to commercialize their work for use in other contexts.

It's been a bit over an year that I started this blog. What an intense year it's been. My free time to write and reflect has varied greatly, but I figured that a little change never hurt anyone.

As a bit of a throwback, here's my first post ever on the blog from last year:

It's starting to sink in... I'm going back to school, this time, for an MBA at the Sloan School of Management at MIT. After four years out in the working world, I'm jumping back in. I'll once again have to brush up on Calc, Stats, Accounting and Econ. But first, I have to move from DC to Boston... That's happening this weekend. There's so much to do before then..
